Dolittle Now Available! {giveaway}

The last few weeks have seen so many changes in our day to day lives because of the Covid-19 virus, and have been quite challenging. It's not easy to adapt to our new way of life.  Having the kids at home, and not being able to go on outings and see their friends in person, is difficult. It is definitely taking some time to adjust.

Screen time, while we are trying to not spend all waking hours in front of them, has definitely been more plentiful.

Having streaming services to watch, and new movies to check out is a bonus at this given time.

Dolittle is now available for Digital download (March 24th), and will be available for home purchase on April 7th.  However, my readers have a chance to WIN a copy!

Entering is easy, complete the giveaway tools form below (make sure to complete each task, I do check).  Open to residents of Canada that are 18+, ends at 1159pm EST March 30th, winner has 24 hours to respond. Good luck!

For many years I was a stay at home mom, and our family lived off of one income. I tried my hardest to make our money stretch.

Last Minute Gift Ideas From Goliath Games/Pressman Toy

I grew up playing board games with my family, and have continued to do so with my own children. My niece will come over and play them with us as well, it's something we really enjoy.

Most years at Christmas we add a board game to our collection. They are fun and you can find some that are pretty educational.

Goliath Games/Pressman Toys has some great options. They have something for every age group. This year, they sent me a selection of games (some of which we already own and love - Mastermind and Rummikub), and some that were new to me (Sequence, Make 7 an SMATH) There is a bit of a twist though. We didn't keep the games. We gifted them to the school my kids attend.

I brought them in and gave them to the principal, and she was so thrilled. They are a great way to keep the students entertained and occupied when inclement weather calls for indoor recess, and also a way for kids to spend time if they finish their work early. Our school also has a games club that meets at lunch time once a week, so they have the option of using them for that as well.

A lot of families send in gifts to teachers at this time of year, if you are looking for something a bit different, you could pick up one of the games to drop off.

Now for the fun stuff - they are offering up a package of 2 games for me to giveaway to one lucky Tales of Mommyhood fan! The pack will consist of Mastermind and Sequence.

To enter, complete the form below. This giveaway is open to Canadian residents that are 18+. Good luck!
